I Wanna Talk About Me

As you can see, I am still just me. 27 years old, born and raised in Savannah, Georgia. Almost 9 years into a relationship with the man I gave my heart to. We are the proud parents of 3 dogs and 2 cats. You will see them all here, a lot. I lost my mother November 18, 2008. I am now struggling to live life without her, but I have an amazing boyfriend and fantastic friends to help me through. Oh, and Duct Tape is the best invention. EVER.

The Burn: 1 Year Later

March 27th marked one year since my heating pad tried to kill me.

Some of you may remember this post.

And this one. (Queasy tummies BEWARE, it aint pretty).

Or maybe this one: (Again, BEWARE).

And I think this is the last one I posted of my dear Burney.

The burn healed sometime at the end of July. I then lost my job in August, therefore, fell off the radar.

It has since been a little over a year since my leg healed. Behold, the scar.




A little size comparison for your eyehole.

Now, go sit and think about that. Any why you should never fall asleep drunk with a heating pad on.

  2. Doedoe - Thanks! And while I am my mother's child, I refuse to go that far. Love you too :)

  3. My 2 cents, you really shouldn't fall asleep sober with a heating pad on either.

    Looks like you could make a nice crab or manta ray or jellyfish or even an owl tattoo out of it though.

  4. I think this is a good lesson for us all to learn. You are doing a public service, really.

  5. curmudgeon - Very true. And I have learned my lesson. I have considered a tattoo over the scar, I like the jellyfish idea. :) Thanks!

    Kat - I try, I try.

  6. I still think we can dress it up when we go out and make it do bar tricks. Just a thought.

    P.S. Tagged at my place.

  7. I googled heating pad burn pictures to find your blog. I did the same stupid thing. My husband has recently been told to stop talking about his wife's "smokin hot butt" because it isn't funny anymore. I go in to the burn clinic in 2 days for "debridement". Absolutely terrified! Boo hiss to heating pads.
